Introduction
In reference to children, sparking has been one of the controversial topics that's mostly
studied. This topic has been debated over a long time and it's still debated up to today. Some of

improving the behaviors of a child. It was found that spanking negatively influences the
behaviors of a child by increasing the risk of detriment the behaviors (Gershoff and GroganKaylor, 2016). However, a controversial result was presented by a letter written by an
Adolescent from the Brown University which revealed that, based on which survey is

advancement and growth in the body of knowledge, studies show that spanking and other
physical methods of disciplining a child does not impact positively to the child although to today,
